City vision

Lake Macquarie City: Strategic growth for a sustainable future

Community goals

The community goals have been drafted following extensive community engagement across 2023 and 2024. They describe the kind of city our community would like us to be in 10 years' time and underpin all of our Integrated Planning and Reporting documents.

  • Economic: A city with a diverse and thriving economy 
  • Environmental: A city that protects and showcases its natural environment and is resilient to environmental change
  • Social: A city where people want to live and work, and feel connected to each other
  • Governance: A Council that operates with good governance, trust, transparency and respect 

Organisational values

Our organisational values support the culture of our organisation. They are the 'glue' that brings us all together in achieving our Council and community goals.

  • Shaping our future
  • Leading at all levels
  • Working together
